under fire for letting Morrisey wear an anti-Islam far right ...

Morrisey sparked controversy by sporting an anti-Islam pin while appearing on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on Monday. 

The former Smiths frontman sparked fierce backlash for himself and the late night host as he was performing his cover of Jobriath's 'Morning Starship' - for his album 'California Son'.

For Britain is an anti-Islam group that was started in 2017 and led by far-right politician Anne Marie Waters. Their website calls for an 'end of Islamisation of the UK' and Waters has described Islam 'evil' in previous interviews.

In an interview with Tremr in 2018, the 59-year-old singer shared that the party gave him 'hope.'  

'I find the Tory-Labour-Tory-Labour constant switching to be pointless,' he said. 'For Britain has received no media support and have even been dismissed with the usual childish 'racist' accusation. I don't think the word 'racist' has any meaning any more, other than to say "you don't agree with me, so you're a racist." People can be utterly, utterly stupid.

'Anne Marie Waters seeks open discussion about all aspects of modern Britain, whereas other parties will not allow diverse opinion. She is like a humane version of Thatcher ... if such a concept could be. 

'She is absolute leadership, she doesn't read from a script, she believes in British heritage, freedom of speech, and she wants everyone in the UK to live under the same law. I find this compelling, now, because it's very obvious that Labour or the Tories do not believe in free speech... I mean, look at the shocking treatment of Tommy Robinson.'

On their website, For Britain has an entire page dedicated to Morrisey's support of the group. The page feature images of the singer wearing the pin at other occasions. The group also proudly boasts of the musician's support on their social media.
